PROCESS or PRODUCING S HAVING-CREAM.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern Be it known'that I, KARL F ISCI-IMANN, a

subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Archdale, in the county of Bandolph and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvemen ts in Processes of Producing Shaving Cream, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to shaving creams and to a process of manufacturing the same. An object of the invention is to provide a superior cream which is primarily intended for application to the face before shavmg, and the characteristics of this cream are such that it maybe applied to the face by the hands of the user and will godirectly into the pores of the skin and effectually soften the beard in such manner that the beard may be shaved off Without the use of soap, and moreover Without the use of the ordinary shaving brushwhich is a well known germ carrier in barber shops and other public shaving places.

Creams which have been heretofore offered in the market for use in shaving are in the nature of soaps to which Water must be added and a brush or similar means used to Work up a lather. The cream herein described differs essentially from thosein that it has no lather producingelement, and hence may be applied to the face and rubbed into the skin without a brush, andwill nevertheless so effectually soften the heard as to'be a perfect substitute for soap, and willobviate the necessity for the objectionable cup and brush.

Another object of the invention is to produce a superior cream which will be found useful as a massage cream, or for other purposes Where a cream havmg its characteris- .tics is desired.

Another object of the invention is to produce a new and improved rocess for producing the cream having t e qualities and advantages above pointed out.

The constituents employedin the production of my improved cream are Water, lanolin, stearin and ammonia, which are prefer- Specification of Letters Patent. Patented lIar, 24, 1914, Application filed January 17,1913. Serial No. 742,692.

consistency.

It is to be observed that the Water to which the lanolin is added is not boiling, and that the temperature of the compound during the mixing operation is never raised to the boiling point, for experlence has dem-.

onstrated the fact that this is unnecessary,

and will produce undesirable resultsin the' finished cream.

Preferably the cream isrenderedantiseptic by a suitable quantity of 'boric acid, and any perfumes desired may be added to this cream to suit the individual taste.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is v The process of producing a shaving cream consisting in melting one and one quarter pounds of stearin in a suitable receptacle, adding eight ounces of lanolin to one gallon of heated Water of a temperature to melt the,

lanolin, dissolving one 'ounce of a 25% solution of spirits of ammonia in five ounces of boiling Water, addingthe lanolin and ammonia solutions gradually to the stearin whilethe mass isheihg stirred, and so timmg these additions that the; last ounce of In testimony whereof I aifix my signature ,in presence of two witnesseg. each is added to the stearin atsubstantially KARL FISCHMANN. the same time, and finally stirring the mix- Witnesses: 5 ture until a cream oftheproper'cons'isteficy W.
